"Do I feel like I could be helping more? Yes," he told the New York Daily News. He added that he will continue to do whatever the team asks of him.
Umenyiora has yet to start in four games and has registered just six tackles and no sacks.
Reports surfaced that the team would ask him to restructure his deal, but general manager Thomas Dimitroff put that speculation to rest.
Coach Mike Smith said Umenyiora did an "outstanding job" in his first season with Atlanta. "I am never gonna say never," Smith said, "but I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him."
"My eyes have been opened: I understand the business pretty much as well as anybody in football right now because of a lot of the things that have happened," Umenyiora said per ESPN. "And I know it's nothing personal."
Umenyiora had 7.5 sacks last year, leading Atlanta. He also forced three fumbles.
Umenyiora bolted for Atlanta in free agency last year, but has urged Tuck to stay with his current team.
"I've talked to Justin and I told him he should try whatever he can to stay in New York," Umenyiora said via The Star-Ledger. "Because he is New York."
Tuck will likely talk money with the Giants soon, but seems destined for free agency. His stock rose when he piled up 8 1/2 sacks in the last five games this season.
Umenyiora finished with two tackles, both solo.
Umenyiora also had three tackles, all solo, in the contest.
Umenyiora has four sacks on the season but hasn't had one since Week 5.
All three players have been able to practice this week, but have been limited each day. Both Umenyiora and Baker are dealing with knee injuries. Moore has a hip issue.
Umenyiora has contributed big numbers in three of his six games this season, recording two sacks in two of them and returning an interception for a touchdown in another.
Umenyiora tied for second on the team with six tackles, including four solo stops. He's on a bye this week before facing Tampa Bay in Week 7.
Umenyiora has yet to record a sack for the Falcons after having six for the Giants last season.

Optical deconstruction of fully-assembled biological systems
Karl Deisseroth (Stanford)
October 23, 2014 7 pm • Davidson Math and Science Rm 110 (Auditorium)
The journal Nature dubbed Karl Deisseroth "Method Man" for two groundbreaking techniques developed in his lab, Optogenetics and CLARITY. Both are game changers in the neuroscience world, revolutionizing the way scientists can study the brain. Optogenetics gives scientists the ability to turn neural activity on and off with light-driven switches. CLARITY turns a brain into a clear Jell-o like structure with all neurons intact, giving scientists an unprecedented view of the brain's molecules and cells. These tools allow neuroscientists to address fundamental questions about dynamic changes in brain structure and function. Deisseroth's group applies these strategies to better understand the biological basis for neurological and psychiatric diseases, and how the brain responds to learning, injury, and seizures.
Deisseroth serves on President Obama's BRAIN Initiative advisory committee. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the recipient of dozens of prestigious national and international science awards.

Cuttlefish Camouflage
Charlie Chubb (UC Irvine)
August 29, 2014 3 pm • Ansari Business Bldg 106
Cephalopods (squid, octopus and cuttlefish) have exceptional neurophysiologically controlled skin that can rapid change color, enabling them to achieve dynamic crypsis in a wide range of habitats. Chubb shows the range of camouflage patterns that cuttlefish (Sepia Officinalis) produces and discusses some of the remarkably subtle strategies these patterns use to elude detection. The animals' patterning responses are controlled by the visual input they receive which are sensitive to the visual granularity of the stimulus substrate relative to their own body size.
A deep mystery remains unresolved: cuttlefish have skin that enables them to produce four dimensions of chromatic variation which they use to achieve masterful matches to the colors of substrates in their natural environment. However, cuttlefish have only a single retinal photopigment; in other words, they are colorblind.

Carlo's future under discussion - again
Chelsea look like Liverpool The future of Carlo Ancelotti will be discussed once again at boardroom following their defeat at Arsenal tonight. The worst run in Roman Abramovich's reign as owner of the Blues - one win in eight league games sees Chelsea six points off the top and one point ahead of fast-improving Spurs. Chelsea are fast becoming Liverpool. But is it all about Ancelotti losing his way with tactics, players and the board. Chelsea are demonstrating relegation form on the pitch Sunday league pub mentality off it - and they are hanging onto fourth place by the skin of their teeth. And it's the fear of not qualifying for next season's Champions League that will be at the forefront of the board meeting. Chelsea simply have to be in the Champions League to survive at the top level. Chelsea cannot match the revenue generated by Manchester United and Arsenal who pack their stadiums with 75,500 and 60,000. They cannot hope to match the cash bankrolling Manchester City. They are under orders from Abramovich to make major savings and not to delve into the transfer market unless in exceptional circumstances - ie long-term injuries to key senior players. Add to the fact that each Premier League squad is limited to 25 players and Chelsea offloaded vastly experienced but expensive men, one can see why the Blues are now struggling to come to terms with the loss of a couple of key players. With new regulations coming into force in the next couple of season which limits how much you spend to the income recieved, then that explains why Chelsea's board have gone down the route they have - bringing in kids to replace Joe Cole, Michael Ballack and Juliano Beletti. It explains why they replaced Wilkins with a guy who coached girls under-14 soccer in the USA. But Abramovich wants his cake and to eat it. Rather than deal with an aging squad by replacing like for like, Chelsea have gone down the skinflint route and are paying the consequences and how Manchester United, City and others are laughing at them. Chelsea are heading the way of Liverpool and one could argue have less chance of coming back if they drop out of the top four. The sacking of Ray Wilkins and the resignation of Frank Arnesen demonstartes that this is a club who simply cannot handle success. In particular, Abramovich simply cannot let the experts do their jobs for any significant length of time. One only hopes the Russian billionaire lets the designer and builders of his next super luxury yacht do their job proberly otherwise, he could be heading for the lifeboat. For now chelsea face a resurgent Bolton Wanderers at the Bridge on Wenesday evening. Chelsea have struggled with them in the past and if they fail to disptch them, then it's almost certain more heads will roll. It won't be Abramovich's that's for sure - who's could it be?

Dell cans its Mini 9 Netbook
Computer giant is the latest manufacturer to move away from 8.9-inch-screen devices. More consumers apparently prefer screen sizes of 10 inches and above.
Dell has stopped selling 8.9-inch Netbooks, focusing instead on ones with slightly larger screens.
Visitors to Dell's U.K. Web site earlier on Monday found the Mini Netbook page displaying the phrase "Available in 8.9" but no actual options for buying the Mini 9 model. The site focused instead on Dell's Mini 10 and 10v Netbooks .
U.S.-based tech site Engadget noted that a customer service representative in the U.S. had confirmed the "end of life" of the Mini 9.
Dell is the latest Netbook manufacturer to move away from 8.9-inch-screen devices. It appears that most consumers prefer screen sizes measuring 10 inches and above, despite the fact that such devices have the same screen resolution as their smaller kin.
Dell's Mini 9 can still be bought through Vodafone, which bundles the Netbook with a monthly mobile broadband subscription over a two-year contract.
David Meyer of ZDNet UK reported from London.

Had to finally write my first review because I love this product so much. I've used other eyeshadow bases (Clinique, Too Faced, etc.) and this is by far my favorite. Doesn't dry my lids, and in this (non) color doesn't change the color of my lids - does a perfect job creating a base and keeping my eyeshadow on all day. A must for a big day or darker look. Will definitely re-purchase!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I adore this product. It matches my skin tone perfectly and is the perfect base/concealer for all my eyeshadows. I put UDPP or Too Faced over this and my eyeshadows last all day. On low-maintenance days, I wear only Painterly and it covers all my eyelid flaws. I also own Perky and Groundwork. Painterly is the only one of the 3 that I can spread with my finger, it is creamier than the other 2. I consider Painterly to be more of a base or concealer, not really a shadow since it matches my skin tone, doesn't provide any color. I love it and use almost every day...I don't find this drying at all for my eyelids.
Wow, I am so happy I finally bought this! My eyelids are very discolored(reddish purple) from allergies, thin skin, aging, heredity, etc. Lucky me! Every shadow I use never looks good because the shadow color is overpowered by my 'colorful' lids. Anyway, this product covers all that mess up like nobody's business and it is not greasy like some eyeshadow primers are (Laura Geller for example.) I also appreciate that the color is very neutral, so cool and warm toned gals can use this. I never liked the yellowish tone that some other lines claim looks natural (Laura Geller, BE, Benefit, to name a few I've tried). When I applied it, I noticed how dry it was and a little difficult to get out of the pot using my finger, but in the end, that dryness is what makes it last so long. It does not crease, and I actually used it all around my entire eye area (after applying Fast Response eye cream). Painterly works for me as an undereye concealer as well. I wanted to see how long this stuff would last - put it on yesterday, applied pencil liner over it, and didn't wash it off last night, and it's still on (the liner too)!! HG! Thank you MAC!

This Paint Pot is the most perfect color for me (NW15). I can use it as a nude shadow, as a shadow base, or even as a concealer if I wanted. It literally matches my skin that well! Although I hated spending $16.50 plus tax, this product is probably worth it. I have worn it every day since I bought it Wednesday evening, and it wears without fading or creasing all day long. The texture is creamy but light, and I like to apply it with my finger or a small flat brush. I would definitely repurchase, and am looking into different shades of Paint Pots.

This is the absolute greatest product every made. While the rest of my face falls off by 7:00 PM (12 hour day), my shadow looks recently applied. This is my HG under any shadow. It even makes my Almy shadows, color that I love but with no lasting power, stay on ALL DAY! Will definately repurchase. Forever...and ever.....
My eyeshadow always comes off during the day, and this product definitely made it stay on the whole day. I'm definitely going to purchase again. Colour is close to my skin tone and was easy to put shadow over. (NC 15-20)
loveloveloveLOVE. pretty much what everyone else has said. creamy, easy to put on eyeshadow w/it.
i love this. totally replaces UDPP (my HG) because of the ease and quickness (a must for my mornings!) that i can apply it. great base and primer (altho i must admit not as good as UDPP).
my only gripe is that it's too pink for my skin NC25 skin (asian) but i will absolutely repurchase another paintpot in another color when i throw this one out after a year ( bcuz i know it won't run out on me!)

I can't imagine using this as a shadow, but it is a perfect, nude colored base. There is plenty of it in the pot, too.
The pot I got was very creamy---a touch of the finger is enough to put some on the eyelid. The finish is dry; shadow goes over as if nothing is on the eye at all.
I was trying to use Pearl CCB as a base but it creases and it's a bit shimmery. I like Painterly better.
My HG Paint Pot....i would give this ten lippies if i could :)
I use it as a base / primer on my eyes
and if i have a pimple i use it as a concealer too because it lasts better than my studio finish concealer (that i use for my undereye circles)
(NW20, lightblonde, blue eyes)
I am very impressed with this product. I am a big fan of UDPP, however Painterly has slowly but surely taken it's place.. It really does a great job at brightening my pigmented eye area and it also does a great job at keeping my shadow in place. Overall A+ product because of it's multi-functional use....

These Dolce and Gabanna men's swimsuits are not for the faint of heart (or self conscious).
The sleek and slender black trunks come in a variety of shorter bathing suit sizes (above knee to higher above the knee).
With each pair labeled with the status-signifying D&G logo and a $300+ price tag, these swimsuits are a good way to attract all the beach attention you desire (or don't desire).

Time Warner Cable SportsChannel to televise Union-Colgate hockey Jan. 19
By Ken Schott
Thursday, December 20, 2012
The Union men's hockey team annoucned Thursday that Time Warner Cable SportsChannel will televise the Dutchmen's Jan. 19 game against Colgate at Messa Rink at 7 p.m.
The game will replace the Harvard-Union contest Jan. 22. However, there is the possibility that game could end up on NBC Sports Network. With the NHL announcing the canceling of games through Jan. 14, NBCSN will be in need of programming to fill the void left by the NHL lockout.
Stay tuned.

What are the "best practices" for storing a handgun in the home where it can be accessed quickly if needed? Is it wise to have a loaded magazine stored near the firearm so it can be loaded and ready quickly? The gun locks I have seen are not conducive to "quick release", and when in a stressful situation like a home invasion, I could see where the additional time to get your firearm ready may prevent you from protecting yourself. Also, in a multi-story dwelling, is it better to store the firearm downstairs where it can be obtained quickly in case of "trouble at the door", or upstairs where its closer during the nighttime hours? I'm curious to know where and how members are staying safely prepared.

I keep my magazines in my handguns(without one in the chamber), and I have a gun in almost every room.

I keep my pistol with a loaded mag in it, in a drawer beside my bed. I don't use the lock; there are no children in my home. The Mossy sits beside the bed, with a few in the ammo tube. I do not keep a magazine in the SKS, nor do i really consider it a weapon of quick reaction. I think the "right" answer differs depending on your house & household; do you have small children who might be tempted to play with your pistols?
No small children. A teeenage daughter that has had training and enjoys shooting, so I'm not concerned about her misusing it.

Is there lots of bass
- Asked by Ronda P from Fort Assiniboine

Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
Product No Longer Available
4 Answers from the Community
There is the right amount of bass. These headphones are well balanced and don't overly emphasise or distort any part of the sound they produce. They are not overly bassy, but if the music you are listening to has bass in it then you'll be able to hear it without any problems!

I agree with DM. You can get some bottom end, but there's no clarity. I'm a bass player and was listening to some mixes of our recordings and sounds completely different than studio monitors or even cheaper earphones, the ProTone m100.

unfortunatly these are not heavy on bass..good but no sennheiser 3 4 or 500..what you do get is dual drivers woofer and tweeter so clear bass and symbols they work well with different settings rock for rock r&b so on..better overall sound in my opinion than sennheiser and the dual drivers are usually found on £100 plus earphones like q-jays..money well spent in my opinion.

i bought these thinking there would be alot of bass because of the design. very disappointed with the quality of bass. if you want bass, go spend 15-20 dollars more and buy the BOSE in ear headphones. those amazed me with the quality of bass they provide.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jayne Doe!
Facts about Jayne Doe
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Jayne Doe's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Jayn Doe is a cat we found in Lawrenceburg, IN in February of this year and have been unable to find her family. She had no collar with ID tags or a microchip so it has been hard to reunite her with her family.
Jayn is extremely affectionate and loves the company of people. She is okay with some of the cats her current foster home, but is very afraid of dogs. She was already spayed when we found her, and has been tested, vaccinated, and we also microchipped her. Jayn does have a Grade II heart murmer, which is minor, that will need to be monitored. She is really a nice cat!
Adopter is required to sign a no declaw contract since cats need and use their claws for both physical and psychological reasons. Jayn is not a destructive scratcher in any way. She has never clawed furniture and does her healthy scratching on the PURRFECT POST(www.purrfectpost.com) that is in her foster room.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jayne Doe, a cincinnati Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in cincinnati, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in cincinnati already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a cincinnati breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

The owner of the Cowboys is happy.
Jerry Jones can't wait for his Cowboys to play the Giants in the NFL's season opener.
That game will be in New Jersey on September 5th on KETK.
Here is what Jones said...
"We'd better be ready. Our players will get the point real easily that we need to be ready to play. It starts it off with a great rival. You've got it all opening the season for the NFL. I'm very pleased with it. I like the idea of having something like that to point to."

HTC Thunderbolt 4G: Can the EVO's powerhouse design strike twice?
(Read article summary)HTC Thunderbolt 4G will utilize Verizon's new 4G data network. But can the HTC Thunderbolt stand up to the likes of the iPhone 4?
The HTC Thunderbolt, a chunky smartphone powered by Verizon's new 4G network, doesn't have a price or a concrete release date, but it is already soaking up a good deal of the buzz at the CES show in Vegas.
And for good reason: the thing is packed with features, from a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, pre-loaded Skype video chat, a 32GB MicroSD card for storage, HTC Sense interface, and a big old speaker on the back for playing video and music.
But can the HTC Thunderbolt stand up to its competitors, or the near identical Sprint EVO 4G?
Related: Verizon iPhone is reportedly signed, sealed, and ready for 2011 delivery
Over at PC World, Ginny Mies, who got a hands-on with the Thunderbolt, says the phone is a true "multimedia powerhouse" – a phone geared toward content creators and content consumers.

The cover article of this month's issue of The Atlantic magazine has me thinking about socks -- or rather, about what Abraham Lincoln said about them.
The article, titled "The 50 Greatest Breakthroughs Since the Wheel," is a ranking of the innovations as determined by a dozen experts polled by essay author James Fallows. (The title is a little misleading; innovation No. 48, for instance, the lever, predates the wheel, according to the article.)
Number one on the list is the printing press. I won't argue with that. But lists like this spur argument, debate and -- a good thing, I think -- analysis of what's really important and why.
Most devices and systems spring from predecessors. What makes one step in the process particularly important?
For example, the printing press would be less useful if people hadn't figured out writing first. Writing isn't even on The Atlantic's list, though alphabetization comes in at No. 25 due to its utility in creating a searchable database. Yet, for 2,000 years before Gutenberg, writing was being used to pass what someone had learned to people they'd never met, people who hadn't been born, new generations who could access the knowledge already attained and then push it further without having to rediscover an essential fact or technique from scratch.
But writing wasn't enough, as poet and book collector Petrarch observed 100 years before the press. He lamented that written texts were being lost because it took so long to copy them. Gutenberg mightily sped up the replication process, among other things.
A number of The Atlantic's items have to do with health: vaccination, refrigeration, antibiotics and -- perhaps most important, says the guy who grew up with a honey bucket -- modern sanitation. The panel ranked them with whiz-bang technological achievements like semiconductors, the Internet and personal computers, which may indicate a first-world bias. If you can't get on Facebook, it's inconvenient; if you have to dump your waste in the street, it can be fatal. There's a difference.
The experts named the Internet the sixth most important innovation since the wheel, but had television at No. 45. They suspect that the age of television may already be passing, a blip in socio-technological history.
In 60 years, will the Internet also be considered a blip? Anesthesia and nails (Nos. 46 and 47) will be just as important in 2073 as they are now and, for that matter, have been from the moment people figured them out. Maybe they're more important than something that may be out of date in our lifetime.
The panel had four women and eight men, none of whom have done much laundry by hand, I'm guessing. The clothes washing machine, which arguably made possible a level of gender equality in industrialized nations that you don't see in places where Maytags don't exist, is not mentioned. Nor is the electric motor that runs them and so many other household appliances and power tools. Generic "Electricity" is No. 2 on the list, though it appears that the panel had light bulbs and computers in mind; the application of electricity to illumination and communication, enormous as it is, is markedly different from its application to labor-saving devices and how those gizmos have altered our lives.
Innovations seldom change the whole world at once; just swatches of it, with different impact in different places. Cars (No. 18) are nearly indispensable in Anchorage, but not so necessary in places more amenable to public transportation or foot travel. For many humans, airplanes (No. 15) have little bearing on daily life, but imagine, for a moment, modern life in Alaska without them.
Petrarch, who died in 1374, described two items widely used in his later years that were unknown in his youth: clocks and glasses. The Atlantic ranks them No. 27 and 5, respectively. Glasses are especially important, Fallows writes, because they "dramatically raised the collective human I.Q." by making it possible for more people to read, especially young people.
Petrarch viewed spectacles differently, as "a godsend to poor old people" that let literate elders continue to build on what they had already learned as their vision grew dim. Where Fallows sees a horizontal social broadening of education and intelligence due to glasses, the poet saw more of a vertical benefit, extending an individual's education and quality of life. Both may be right, but considering how few young people have problems with close-up vision, I incline toward Petrarch's opinion.
Which brings me to socks and Honest Abe. Lincoln witnessed trains, steamboats and telegraph lines transform transportation and communication -- and the country. He was keenly aware of their importance. Yet when he spoke about contemporary inventions that brought meaningful improvement to most Americans of his generation, he singled out factories that mass-produced socks.
"When I was a child, only the richest people wore socks," he said. "Today, only the poorest don't."
It's easy to miss humble but precious contributions that become so ubiquitous no one thinks about them any longer. Mechanized textile plants are not in The Atlantic's ranking, but I presume all of the contributors wear clothes that, with adjustments, cost a fraction of what one might have paid 200 years ago.
Nor on the list are any specifically art-related items. Cinema, the phonograph, pre-mixed paints, perspective and pianos (the television of the 1800s) didn't rank. Photography was included not as an artistic medium but a recording device, just as the printing press was prominent for reasons unrelated to the mass distribution of Tolstoy's novels.
Fallows reasonably differentiates science and technology from culture, which is constantly changing "without necessarily improving." One cannot measure whether today's fiction is better than Tolstoy's, but the telegraph patently gets a message from New York to San Francisco faster than the Pony Express.
Is art as unimprovable as it is unprovable? Is it as unimportant as we may infer from The Atlantic's list? Or is its influence so incremental as to be invisible, like sock-making machines? If there were a list of the 50 most important artistic breakthroughs of all time, what would it include?
I dunno, but I'm willing to entertain suggestions. Email 'em to the address below and maybe we'll start a whole new debate.

Remembering Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Oscar Hijuelos, Dead at 62
Posted: October 15, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Awards, Books, Books & Movies, Obituaries | Tags: mr. ives' christmas, newshour, NPR, Oscar Hijuelos, pulitzer prize, the mambo kings play songs of love | Comments Off"Oh yes!…The sweet summons of God to man. That's when He calls you up to His arms. And it's the most beautiful thing, a rebirth, a new life. But, just the same I'm in no rush to find out." ― Mr. Ives' Christmas by Oscar Hijuelos
Oscar Hijuelos, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1990 for his novel The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love , died yesterday of a heart attack while playing tennis, according to his agent, Jennifer Lyons. Hijuleos was 62.
Hijuelos was the first Latino writer to be awarded the coveted prize. The novel traces the journey of two Cuban brothers who leave Havana for a life in New York to pursue a career in music. In 1992, the novel was adapted into a film starring Armand Assante and Antonio Banderas.
Although the Pulitzer brought the author fame, it also brought hardships. Hijuelos felt labeled as an "ethnic" writer. In an interview on NPR's Newshour in 2011, Hijuelos discussed his memoir Thoughts Without Cigarettes. He told interviewer Ray Suarez that he
sometimes felt like a freak, simply because the level of my success and traveling around the world as — quote — "a Latino writer" as much as anything, was sort of wonderful and also very strange for me at the same time, because, indeed, I'm — I came up as but one version of many potential versions of Latinos that there could be.
And I have never — as I say in the memoir, I have never intended to represent myself as a spokesman for anybody but myself. And yet I would be in a roundtable in Sweden, in Stockholm, Sweden, at a live television show, and the host would come on and look around trying to figure out who the Latino guy was in the group. That kind of thing was both interesting and alarming at the same time.
Here is the complete interview. Rest in Peace, Mr. Hijuelos.
Alice Munro Wins the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature
Posted: October 10, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Awards | Tags: alice munro, lives of girls and women, man booker prize, nobel prize in literature 2013, paris review, runaway, the love of a good woman | Comments Off"A story is not like a road to follow…it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows."
Canadian writer Alice Munro has been awarded 2013's Nobel Prize in Literature. Often heralded as "one of our greatest contemporary writers of fiction," Munro is best known for her short stories which are accessible yet complex narratives about the human condition. Her best-known works include "Lives of Girls and Women" (1973), "The Love of a Good Woman" (1998) and "Runaway" (2004). A collection of her work, "Too Much Happiness: Stories," was published in 2009.
2009 is also the year in which Munro was award the coveted Man Booker International Prize for her lifetime body of work. Additionally, she has been awarded Canada's literary honor, the Scotiabank Giller Prize, twice. She might have won a third but she removed her name from the contenders in 2009 saying that "she wanted to give younger, less-established authors an opportunity."
Literary America: Ten Places to Visit for National Author's Day
Posted: October 9, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Books, history, Top 10 | Tags: alex haley, edgar allan poe, Ernest Hemingway, erskine caldwell, henry david thoreau, jack london, john steinbeck, laura ingalls wilder, mark twain, museums, national author's day, national parks, rowan oak, walden, walden pond, william faulkner | Comments OffMark your calendars and make some plans! November 1st is National Author's Day. In 1929, the General Federation of Women's Clubs created the day to honor America's writers; in 1949, the day was officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Congress. The resolution states, in part, that "[b]y celebrating author's day as a nation, we would not only show patriotism, loyalty and appreciation of the men and women who have made American literature possible but would also encourage and inspire others to give of themselves in making a better America."
Most of these historic places are privately staffed or state-run, meaning that even if the government shutdown continues, you should be able to visit these homes, museums, and locations:
1. Edgar Allan Poe Museum, Richmond, VA
Called "America's Shakespeare," Edgar Allan Poe created or mastered the short story, detective fiction, science fiction, lyric poetry and the horror story. His dark genius has invited children and adults to read and love literature for over 150 years.
2. Mark Twain Study, Elmira, New York
Built by Twain's father-in-law, Twain called this retreat "The Cozy Nest." It is located on the campus of Elmira College. Twain's grave is also located in the town of Elmira.
"A Government of Wolves": Ten Writers Sound Off

Yesterday, I heard a sick child will not get his weekly visit with a therapy dog because those "non-essential workers" had been "furloughed."
Here are ten quotes from writers, past and present, that may help you channel and articulate your own feelings and frustration with our elected leaders:
1. "A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." — Edward R. Murrow
2. "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people." — Alan Moore, V for Vendetta
4. "You have to remember one thing about the will of the people: it wasn't that long ago that we were swept away by the Macarena." — Jon Stewart

No Child Left Inspired: Parent-Teacher Night Blues
Posted: September 24, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Books, Education, Novels, Teachers & Teaching, Young Adult | Comments OffLast night I attended Parent-Teacher night with my eighth grade son. It was depressing.
For two hours, I, my son, and several hundred other parents were herded from classroom to classroom where we were introduced to the variety of TEKS tests our children would endure this year. TEKS, the acronym for the assessment "Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills," will measure students' ability to take tests. Honestly, that's what it boils down to. The four areas of "knowledge" they will assess are math, science, history, and social studies. Writing, and critical thinking, apparently, are not deemed "essential."
Now, I realize teachers only have ten minutes to address each class. They were dead tired, as was I. But you know, in each ten minute session, ALL I heard was due dates for tests and the breakdown of grades. In not a single class was there any excitement about the curriculum, no discussion of new ideas or interesting projects… nothing.

Will Cricket Ever Get Back Into the Olympics?
- Posted by Manish

- Blog No Comments.
In 1900, the game of cricket was played during the Summer Olympics in Paris. There were only two sides in that competition as Great Britain went away with the Gold while France had the Silver. Belgium and the Netherlands were originally planning to compete but they both pulled out.
Needless to say, the lack of popularity of the game at the time made it so this would be the only instance where cricket was ever played during the Olympics. It has been played on many occasions in the Asian Games and South Pacific Games but those events have been for countries that are more apt for the sport in terms of popularity.
Considering how cricket has grown in size, it only makes sense that people would think about the game possibly coming back into the Olympics. However, the hurdles to try and get back into the Olympics are extremely difficult. It is clear that it will not be at the 2016 games but it could work for the 2020 event in Tokyo provided that these hurdles are overcome.
Powerhouses Aren't Happy
India and England, two countries that have long been seen as powerhouses in the sport of cricket, have both stated that they are not interested in having cricket during the Olympics. Both countries argue that revenues would be lost if they were in the Olympics. India specifically was uncomfortable with giving up its sense of autonomy in the sport either, suggesting that the country wants to compete in cricket events on its own terms. The fact that these two countries are opposed to the idea of playing in the Olympics certainly hurts the potential for the sport to make it into this field over time.
The ICC Could Be Shifted
ICC events may also be harmed in the event that cricket became an Olympic sport. The ICC World T20 and other tournaments would have to be significantly shifted, thus potentially resulting in lost revenues from some events having to be skipped over. It is estimated that a member could get about $85.5 million US from a World T20 event when compared with the $15 million that the same member would earn if it competed in the Olympics and got enough supporters on board for the event.
Only One Format Is Supported
There is also the issue of how the T20 format of cricket is the only option that could be suitable for Olympic consideration. One-day matches are not going to be open and test matches are certainly not going to be used either. This creates a bit of an issue as not all countries around the world have T20 sides to work with. If more countries got their acts together and started to focus on the T20 version of the game then the potential to get into the Olympics might improve but it would still be a challenge considering the struggles that have come with trying to get into the sport in the first place.
The problems that have come about with regards to cricket being in the Olympics are far too noteworthy. The potential for cricket to be in the Olympics will always be around but the obstacles for getting it into the program may make for a real long shot.
Why is Test Cricket So Important?

It has been seen over the years that test cricket is not as popular as other forms of cricket. The rise of the T20 format and the lack of an attention span for a typical modern viewer to watch a match that can go for five days on occasion have made it to where test cricket could be at risk of going away altogether.
However, this is a problem that should be to the concern of a typical cricket fan. Test cricket is very important and there are many great reasons as to why people should be taking a look at test cricket matches if they can.
Only the Best Can Play
A big part of test cricket is that it is a type of cricket format that is limited to only the best players in the world. In fact, official ICC-sanctioned test cricket matches can only take place between two of ten countries that have their own test sides. These include England, India, Australia, South Africa and most recently Bangladesh. These sides are carefully selected with players from the best sides around these countries.
It Focuses On Endurance
The endurance factor is a key part of making test cricket as popular as it is. Only the best sides will have players who are able to stay consistent and strong during the entire competition. After all, this is called a test match because it tests the endurance of the people who are competing in such an event.
The Match Can Go Any Way
It does not matter how far ahead one side might be after one or two days of competition in a test cricket match. There is always a potential for whoever is done to catch back up again. This is a huge part of test cricket in that there is a real potential for cricket players to get up and go ahead for any purpose. This is a fascinating point that can really be of use over a given time as it makes the match more competitive and hard for a typical fan to predict with regards to what may happen later on.
It Allows For More Players To Come Around
Test cricket sides are designed to where they will have rotations where individual players may be replaced on a regular basis. That is, many of these sides will allow players to switch from one side to the next, thus allowing for a little more competition between the sides as a whole. It can really create a more entertaining and unique approach to the game at large. Of course, the quality of the team is often based on the players who are involved and there is always a potential for different players to be substituted if needed but the limited roster on a typical side will always add to the overall strategy that has to be used in such a match.
While there are concerns about the future of this style of cricket, test cricket is still a format that is worth exploring. Test cricket can be fun and interesting and will certainly entail a good deal of competition that can be very hard to attain within a typical T20 match.
How the United States Has Tried Getting Into Cricket

There are many big international powers that compete in cricket matches on a regular basis. England, Ireland, India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand are all powerful parts of the world that have a great respect for the game.
However, there is one massive international power that has not taken in cricket as well as others. That power is the United States, a country that practically has control over many international functions.
Cricket is clearly not that big in the United States. Some efforts are being made to try and make cricket more popular within the country. It may be a challenge considering the large variety of sports that are already being played in the country. It is still a practice that is worth exploring.
Televised Cricket Is Becoming Popular
Cricket has become available on television to more people in the United States. While much of this has been through online streaming sites, many cable and satellite providers have been airing cricket tournaments as they happen on pay per view. A customer can pay a certain amount of money to get access to watch a match on television as it occurs.
Some Leagues Are Being Formed
A few leagues are being created here and there with many of them being dedicated to local communities. The Detroit Cricket League is especially noteworthy as there are more than twenty cricket sides in the Detroit area that compete regularly.
Some other professional leagues have been formed over time with Major League Cricket supporting many smaller cricket groups and organizations around the country. The potential to create one national league has also been around but it has never gotten off the ground. The American Premier League was a planned T20 league that was to lay in 2009 but it never came into fruition in spite of a small television deal.
Many Cricket Parks Are Being Formed
There are a few cricket grounds that are being planted around the United States. These include such places as the Philadelphia Cricket Club and the upcoming cricket grounds at the Indianapolis World Sports Park. It is often easy to play cricket on other fields that hold other sports too. These include Van Cortland Park, a large part in the Bronx that has more than enough space for cricket matches.
These parks are designed to support more cricket matches and plenty of national competitions between different clubs. This could really be interesting to find thanks to how there are so many teams in the country. It could really establish a better sense of help for creating a more unique atmosphere but it is always a point that is worth exploring based on what may happen over an extensive period of time.
Whether or not cricket will truly catch on in the United States remains uncertain. One point that is definitely clear is that there is some semblance of support for the game in the country. However, more needs to be done before the United States can truly get into the fold and be more competitive with other countries that already embrace cricket as the sport is today.
The Game of Cricket – A Popular International Activity in Countries Like Malaysia

Cricket is a very unique game. Much like baseball, it is played with a bat and ball, and players try to score runs. The game is played on a grassy field with a large pitch in the middle where the ball is thrown to the batter. The object of the game is to score runs while the defending team fields to try to prevent this from happening. The game can last several hours, all afternoon or even a few days in some circumstances.
The history of the game of cricket dates back to the sixteenth century. The first recorded games were played in England. While the exact origins of this game are not known, it is believed that the founders were Saxon and Norman children living in Weald. While children were likely the original players, the sport quickly became popular with adults and eventually turned into a national past time.
Did you realize that cricket is a popular game around the world? Even in Malaysia, the sport has deep historical roots that date back to the 1880s. The sport draws fans from across the country, and the team has even reached the semi-finals in the ACC Trophy in this decade.
In addition to the National Cricket club, many non-professional cricket clubs can be found throughout Malaysia. These clubs offer opportunities for novice players, corporate colleagues and even children to get involved with the sport, learn more about the game and enjoy playing against other players.
If you plan to visit Malaysia and hope to take in a game of Cricket during your stay, there are some rules you must abide by while in the venue. In most venues, outside food and drinks are prohibited, and so is smoking. If you do smoke cigarettes and will have a difficult time abstaining through the game, consider bringing an e cigarette Malaysia brand to the game. This site has more information and a variety of e cigarettes that you can purchase before your travels. E cigarettes offer a clean alternative to traditional cigarettes that are environmentally-friendly and health conscious. They can be enjoyed in the cricket venue and at other sites you might visit while traveling through Malaysia.
While not as popular as football, baseball and soccer, the game of cricket has a strong base of fine and international popularity. Games can even be found in countries like Malaysia, and they can be a wonderful event for the entire family to join in watching if your traveling plans take you to this country. As with any other activities in a foreign country, remember the importance of following the laws when visiting a game, especially those that pertain to smoking in the cricket venues. A great alternative is to purchase e cigarette Malaysia or other favorite brands. Check with local authorities to understand other rules and regulations of various venues so you can enjoy the game more and allow others around you to do the same.

Something about these lines from an LA Times op ed about the Chicago way of politicking bothered me.
That style is tough, focused, immune to any distractions but cosmetic niceties. And did we mention tough. A portly, veteran Chicago alderman once confided only about 40% jokingly, that he had taken up jogging to lose weight but quickly gave it up as boring because "you can't knock anyone down." That's politics the Chicago way.
It reminds me a little of those who speak of suicide bombers as martyrs. I see them rather as fanatics willing to kill innocents mercilessly in the name of their faith. Martyrs are the opposite. They are innocents willing be killed rather than abandon their faith. And they frequently die imploring God's mercy on their killers.
I see "toughness" as a kind of courage, an imperviousness the fears and pressures that beset the untough. A habit of using violence and coercion to get your political way—a penchant for knocking people down—is not toughness. It's thuggery. Thugs and bullies are famously weak and cowardly. Not tough at all—just intimidating for anyone who isn't really tough.
I wonder if our society is declining in its ability to distinguish between real courage and mere toughness, as you describe here, Katie. And then, of course, the Christian virtue of fortitude is yet another thing. It seems that sometimes our cultural elites admire toughness and courage equally without seeing the difference. Perhaps this is because they do not bother to wonder about the reasons that underlie free human actions—that is, freely chosen, intelligible reasons. |

Nokia Announces 7710 PDA/GPS/Internet Phone
Re:Do Not Want Camera Phone (164 comments)
Try the Sony Ericsson T68i. I purchased one from ebay last year. Its an older phone, but has the "right" feature set for me.
It has bluetooth, no camera, *very* basic pda features -- calander, phonebook, alarms, color screen (not touch, which i prefer, t9 is great!)
I'm very happy with it.
What's more, it's tri-band (eg works in US, europe and most places in the world -- i actually purchased a SIM while in europe and had a "local" number) and it's network unlocked (eg my phone isn't locked to a network provider). I don't use my phone a bunch, so I just purchased a pay-as-you-go SIM from cingular and my average monthly cost is about US$15.
Search on ebay for "Sony Ericsson T68i unlocked"
I purchased mine for about US$100.
One warning however: check the GSM coverage, GSM fequencies, and plans of various providers before commiting to any phone.
